Abstract

The goal of this study is to explore the perception of university students in Bangladesh towards the teaching profession, as well as to identify the variables that have an impact on the selection of this profession. Surveys based on agree/disagree questionnaires were conducted among ten universities of Bangladesh where both public and private universities were incorporated. This research study is quantitative in nature. The analysis investigated that the students have an inspirational frame of mind towards the teaching profession and a remarkable number of the participants want to be a teacher. However, the low compensation bundle and less social qualities and respect oppose them to become a teacher. Additionally, it has also explored that there are gender inclinations towards this calling. This study suggested expanding the present compensation bundle and other facilities of teachers to draw greater university students towards this profession who have high insight, ability, and knowledge.
